IN early 2009, statisticians inside the
Googleplex here embarked on a plan
code-named Project Oxygen.
Their mission was to devise
something far more important to the
future of Google Inc. than its next
search algorithm or app.
They wanted to build better bosses.

Stanford
• Students (often their families)
contribute by a $42 690 tuition
fee in addition to $ 13 166 for
room and board.

6. Työelämäntutkimusta ja teoriaa
Stanfordissa
• Center for Work, Technology & Organization (WTO) http://www.stanford.edu/group/WTO/cgi-
bin/index.php explores the intersection between work, technology, and organization. Projects
generally concern for work, mainly in technical settings, and consider the organizational issues
implicated at the intersection of work and technology.
• H-Star http://hstar.stanford.edu/ is focusing on people and technology — how people use
technology, how to better design technology to make it more usable, how technology affects
people's lives, and the innovative use of technologies.
• Media X http://mediax.stanford.edu/ is an industry affiliate program exploring how the thoughtful
use of technology can impact a range of fields, from entertainment to learning to commerce and
researching innovative ways for people to collaborate, communicate, and interact with the
information, products, and industries of tomorrow
Teoriaa:
• New institutionalism or neo-institutionalism is a theory that focuses on
developing a sociological view of institutions — the way they interact and
the way they affect society.
• Sociomaterial theory: the social and the technical elements of a system are
constitutively entangled

7. Hot topics
• Big data, analytics, cloud. Data availability and access
have grown. According to Eric Schmidt, Google's chief
executive officer, the world creates 5 exabytes of data
every two days. That is roughly the same amount
created between the dawn of civilization and 2003.

8. • Engagement is focused on identifying such factors in
work, working practices, technologies and your mind
that might enhance attention, positive emotions,
feelings of presence and involvement, for example,
when working and learning in virtual world environments

9. • MOOCS - massive open online courses, Stanford is
following MIT in offering free courses in the internet for
all. In summer 2011, a free artificial-intelligence course
offered by Stanford University attracted 160 000
students from around the world – 23 000 of whom
finished it. https://www.coursera.org/
• Other topics: sensors, smart grid, sustainability and
quantified self: smart phone with its embedded sensors
that can tell much more about your health, fitness,
movement and locations than you yourself.
